Navigating the Cancer Journey

The NWT cancer pathway, also called the continuum of care, is very complex and can be difficult to navigate. Screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and palliation take cancer patients through a complicated circuit of services provided at primary health care centers in their home communities, Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife, and the Cross Cancer Institute run by Alberta Health Services (AHS) in Edmonton.

Need help navigating the cancer journey?

Navigating Your Cancer Journey is a resource for cancer patients in the Northwest Territories that has been designed to provide information to help guide NWT patients and their families through the cancer journey.
